Reds' Dylan Floro: Signs with Cincinnati

by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire

Floro agreed to a minor-league deal with the Reds on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.

Floro will remain in the NL Central after appearing in three games with the Cubs in 2017. During that time, he posted an unsightly 6.52 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 9.2 innings of relief. The 27-year-old spent most of the past season at the Triple-A level, which is where he will likely begin the 2018 campaign within the Reds' system.

Floro was outrighted off the 40-man roster in late August and has decided to take his services to free agency rather than return to the Dodgers' minor league system. He will now look to find himself a better situation heading into 2018 with a different organization.

The Dodgers needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Curtis Granderson, who was acquired from the Mets for a player to be named later. Floro has only been in the Dodgers' organization for a couple weeks, and has compiled a 4.42 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 55 innings in the minors this season, primarily in the Cubs' organization.

Floro was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers on Friday, JP Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

Floro was claimed and then optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City after being designated for assignment by the Cubs on Monday. He's spent most of the 2017 season with Triple-A Iowa, posting a 3.88 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. During three appearances with Chicago, Floro was battered around, allowing seven earned runs in just 9.2 innings.
